But behind the structure and to-do lists was a nervous system under pressure and a heart carrying more than it should. In this conversation, she opens up about the emotional breaking point that changed...

On today’s episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I am joined by Marta Han and Zsofia Jamieson, founders of The Fertility Class @thefertilityclass and teachers of the Aviva Method, a pelvic centered movement practice designed to support hormonal balance and fertility.

In this conversation, we explore how targeted rhythmic movement can improve circulation to the reproductive organs, support communication between the brain and ovaries, and help regulate the menstrual cycle. Marta shares her personal story of recovering from hypothalamic amenorrhea after years of overtraining and undernourishing her body, while Zsofia talks about overcoming PCOS symptoms and restoring her cycles through fertility focused movement.

We also discuss how gentle, intentional movement can reduce pelvic stagnation, calm the nervous system, and create a sense of safety in the body, which is essential for ovulation and reproductive health. Marta and Zsofia explain how the Aviva Method works, why it is different from traditional workouts, and how many women notice improvements in ovulation, cervical mucus, PMS symptoms, and overall hormonal balance.

If you are trying to conceive naturally, navigating irregular cycles, or simply looking for a supportive way to reconnect with your body and reproductive health, this episode offers a powerful perspective on movement as medicine for fertility.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Aviva Method uses rhythmic pelvic focused movement to improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries and support reproductive health.
  • Gentle and intentional movement can help regulate the nervous system and create the sense of safety the body needs for ovulation.
  • Pelvic stagnation from long hours of sitting and chronic stress may impact fertility and hormonal balance.
  • Movement that targets the pelvic region can support communication between the brain and reproductive organs.
  • Many women report improvements in cycle regularity, ovulation timing, PMS symptoms, and cervical mucus after consistent practice.
